Hi all.
I'm Julia. I live in Almaty (city in the South of Kazakhstan) and happy to meet with locals and travellers.

I like nature, mountains, hiking and trekking.
When I'm in a city I like spending time in cosy cafes or restaurants with a tasty food.
And if they have a view that's even better.
I also like city walks. Just walk around a city and see life going around.

I don't really like and don't go to night clubs and bars. So can't give an advice on questions about clubs and bars in Almaty.
But I can help you with the information about local natural attractions and hikings.

I prefer to meet in person first before adding to my friends list.

I don't accept those who use Couchsurfing as a dating website.
Please respect my choice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is such an amazing community.
It's all about different people, from different sides of the world, different languages, different interests and points of view.
I met many wonderful people here and with some of them we became real friends.

It is not a dating website. At least I don't use it that way.
Please respect me and my choice.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like reading books a lot. As soon as I finish one book I look for a new one to start reading.
Always in a process of reading some book. Now reading Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo.
Recently finished couple of Pelevin's books.
So have diverse taste for books.
For the music and movies my taste is quite diverse too.
